Sky Sports lads think he's struggling but I'm not sure that's the case, he's doing well enough.   Co commentator was full of praise for him. Have missed the halftime analysis who thought he was struggling? Don't know how you could come to that conclusion.  One or two acts of greeness alright from him but having a decent game beyond that. That's a really tall order trying to mark Raphina It was Redknapp and Hasselbaink in the studio. Particularly Redknapp who was unfairly critical of him I think. Then again he called him Obafemi-dele so I wouldn't read too much into his insights if he doesn't know his name! Redkanpp was talking absolute pony. The kid did very well against a really difficult opponent while playing out of position. Not that it's worth anything in the bigger scheme but he's man of the match ahead of Raphinia and Rodrigo on the Fantasy Premier League scoring system.

I watched the game and is always the case on here the green tinted glasses are out. He had a tough game today and got turned inside out on 3 occasions and had 2 poor misplaced passes in the first half. He was put on his arse by Raphinha for the goal but well done to Omobamidele for getting his goal and he didn’t shy away from anything throughout the game. He will learn from it.

Just find it laughable to see people here and on Twitter saying he played brilliant and had a great game, he certainly did not.

He is a quality player.   I wouldnt be worried by what kerr or redknapp say and being criticised is all being part of playing at the highest level. 

Kerr has turned into a right aul miserable git in his old age, a whinge bag as he would put it himself.

Goal aside, seemed to get a bit of a runaround from Raphina today.
